Depends on your metal working skills - if it has that rust on the quarters, there's probably twice that much you can't see.  $4200 is a pretty good price for a BB car, if it runs well.  At first glance, I'd buy it for that.

From the pictures and description it seems like a good price, especially considering the 440, but I would not put down a penny without seeing it, because there could be a ton of crud underneath the paint and body.

I agree.  Make sure you go look at it.  But it looks good for the money.

I see you are in Maryland, so it is within a reasonable drive. Just looking at the pics and reading the description, I'm not sure if I would buy or not. It depends on your skills and wallet. The worst of seems to be the cancer in the rear quarters. Sounds like the trunk is iffy too.

yea, the centre of the rear end is dented, it looks like. But I have a feeling the floor pans need replacing, and the suspension along with it(well, at least the leaf springs)
